ChemEAngler, nice photo. What kind of camera do you use? I never can take pictures with that kind of clarity.

Jimmy,
Thanks. Actually I have started taking my DSLR to the river with me for that very reason. I have a Nikon D40, and this was taken with the 18-55mm kit lens w/ a 52mm circular polarizer. I have much higher quality lenses, but haven't been brave enough to take them to the river yet. If this lens gets ruined, then it really isn't that big of a deal... I carry it inside my Fishpond Dragonfly pack with a SealLine SealPak down inside my Fishpond in order to make the entire setup water tight. I have been talking with other FF'ing buddies who sell their pics to the magazines, and they recommended I start carrying my DSLR and the difference would be seen immediately. I have to agree with them. For some examples of what good DSLR streamwork looks like, go to Zach Matthews website and look around. Some stunning work there. Edit: Sorry if this is long winded, but I get a lot of people asking me why I take such a large "fancy" camera to the river. Thought I should at least try to explain why....

Wow, thanks for the reply! I have a lot to learn about cameras, but would like to have one that takes those kinds of pictures. Maybe one day!

You sure it's a large mouth? I was told the mouth opening had to start behind the eyes. Hmmm.

Blue, I'm 99% sure it's a largemouth. The camera angle is kind of strange and the bass has it's mouth partially open. When closed, the back of the mouth would be behind the eyes. Also, this particular lake only has largemouth, black and white crappie, various sunfishes (bluegill, green sunfish, rock bass, etc), grass carp, channel catfish and the occasional other fish that someone has released (Koi, goldfish, etc). It's a fun little lake to fish (22 acres and 45' deep in the middle). Jeff |
